Frank Butler peered
inside the tipi. “Where’s Annie?”
Sitting
Bull sat cross-legged, playing poker with Buffalo Bill. “Gone,” the chief said
without looking up from his cards.
Bill pulled a cigar from his mouth. “Said
she had to practice the blindfold shot.”
Frank muttered a profanity. “She can’t
do that without me.”
Bill chuckled. “That won’t stop Annie.”
Back on the field, Frank hailed a cowboy
on horseback. “Have you seen my wife?” Frank asked.
“She’s at the hospital tent.”
Frank’s gut sickened. “What happened?”
“Stray buckshot hit a longhorn. She’d
got him wrong, and that was her loss.”
I didn’t like this
prompt, so I changed one word. Check out what the others wrote:
